Is there a statically-linked Linux build?

[mimku]

Trying to update feeder software* on Ubuntu 14.04 Server LTS, but the versions from fr24feed_1.0.17_x onwards are all dynamically linked against GLIBCXX_3.4.20.

Current LTS server library version is 3.4.19, next version bump will be in 2017.

A static version would therefore be very very useful.

Thanks!


[I]* I wouldn't normally bother but the really old version of the feeder I was running now fails with the infamous "Parsing configuration...ERROR"

Here's a workaround to install 3.4.20 on 14.04 Server LTS ( probably best not to do this on a production-critical box though )

1. Install the experimental toolchain PPA

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test

2. Update the indices

sudo apt-get update

3. Install the latest g++ and libraries

sudo apt-get install gcc-4.9 g++-4.9 cpp-4.9

4. Check the versions now available

strings /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX
GLIBCXX_3.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.1
...
GLIBCXX_3.4.19
GLIBCXX_3.4.20
GLIBCXX_3.4.21
GLIBCXX_3.4.22
GLIBCXX_DEBUG_MESSAGE_LENGTH

5. Latest FR24 feeder client 1.0.18-5 now runs
